Alivenci moldovenești tradiționale cu brânză de vaci, telemea, mălai fin și mărar proaspăt. Un preparat copt la cuptor, pufos și aromat, perfect pentru un mic dejun sau brunch autentic românesc.
Preparation method
Preparing the mixture
Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a heat-resistant baking dish (approximately 20x25 cm) with a little melted butter. Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a large bowl and the whites in a separate clean bowl.
To the yolks, add the well-drained fresh cottage cheese, crumbled cow's milk telemea, sour cream, whole milk, and melted, cooled butter. Mix well until smooth.
Gradually fold in the cornmeal (mălai) and white wheat flour, then add the finely chopped fresh dill and a pinch of salt (depending on how salty the telemea is).
Chef's tip
For an even browner and more appetizing crust, you can brush the surface of the alivenci with a mixture of sour cream and egg yolk 10 minutes before the end of baking.
Alivenci are just as delicious cold, making them ideal for a packed lunch or a breakfast on the go.
